FORTY-SEVEN
I calm myself before entering the room. I took a deep breath and sighed loudly. I fix myself so that she wouldn’t notice that I had a bad trip with her boyfriend. I just leaned against the back of the door while closing my eyes. I want to get rid of my annoyance with that ass first and I don’t want Lauren to see my angry face. When I feel a little bit ok then I fix myself.
I slowly opened the door and saw her sitting on the bed. She has also changed her clothes. A hello kitty pajamas. The three cats are on her lap and keep meowing at her. She was stroking Kiki’s head.
“Are they mad at me?” she asked me when I entered.
“No, they are excited to see you.”
“Because they don’t want to stop, I thought they’re mad because I am here.”
“They love you so much. They haven’t seen you for a few days, so they’re happy that you’re here.” I see her smile.
“Are they all Asheera cat?” she asked then caress the three who had now stopped but their heads were down on her.
“Yeah.”
“The expensive cat.”
“I don’t mind the price, they brought happiness on me, on us, actually.”
“Oh, I love cats, too. I wanted to have one since I was a cat.”
“I know, that’s why you were happy when you found out that I take care of cats. I only had two before I met you, but when we’re getting married. We adopted one as you requested.”
“Really?”
“Hmph.”
“What are their names?”
“Lalat, Kiki, and Tin-tin.” She laughed when I mentioned their name.
“Who’s who?”
“On your right lap is Tin-tin, on the left is Lalat, and the one you’re holding is Kiki.”
“Are they siblings?”
“Nope. Lalat and Kiki only. Tin-tin is the one you adopted. The two are Tin-tin’s wife.” I saw her eyes widen then looked at Tintin who gives her a meow.
“He’s flirtatious.”
“Yeah.” I laughed in response.
“You’re such a flirty cat.” She had an animosity toward Tin-tin that sank into her even more. “You want two? What are you, king?” I smiled seeing her get mad at Tin-tin. I missed her so much.
Oh damn! I really miss her.
“Hey!” I clapped, and one by one went down. “All of you go to your room now, your mom needs to rest.” They gave us a meow and left altogether.
“It’s great that they follow you. They really understand?”
“Yeah, even if you tell them they will understand.”
“I see, it’s great.” She paused as if suddenly remembering something. “Has Hendrick left?” I felt all the blood rush to my head when I heard the name of that guy. But I just calmed myself down because I didn’t want him to notice.
“Yeah.” I simply answered.
“He didn’t even say goodbye to me.”
“He was in a hurry and said he was going to something important.”
“More important than me?”
“Well, that’s what he said and he said he might not be able to come for a few days because he’s busy and has a lot of important things to attend to.” Or should I say busy with his son?
The animal even blackmailed me because he really thought I was afraid of him. He may forget that I am a DY. But it is okay since Lauren hasn’t remembered me yet and since she doesn’t even know Carmona and me, I will let that asshole interrupts us.
Only now, but when my wife’s memory comes back, it will be Dylan who will face him. I even felt sorry for him when Lauren’s father humiliated him. But now, I felt like I regretted why I felt sorry for him.
I’ll just give it to him now and then I’ll take it back. What’s the point of having one of the powerful Dy become my brother if a Lee who is only going to beat me up will threaten me? A Lee that with just one flip of a Dy will fall immediately.
But because I’m nice, unlike Dave and Dylan. I let him play according to his plan. I don’t need to hurt or compete———right now. While my wife still doesn’t remember anything.
“He’s always busy. Although, I can’t remember anything I know that his work is his priority. I am always the last.”
“Well, that’s one of your complaints about me. That he doesn’t have time with you.” Why do I need to waste my time on him when I can burn Lauren to make her angry? I was with him and we had a long time.
“Yeah,” she said sadly.
“But it’s ok, I am always here for you. Just like the usual. We are always together when he is not around.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. I never left you nor did I.”
“Thanks, I feel that you are a good man, hubby, and also I feel comfortable with you.” But she sighed.
“What’s with the sigh?”
“Nothing, I’m just annoyed, Hendrick and I should be together, especially now that I don’t remember anything. But as I said, I am not his priority.”
“That’s fine. I am here to remind you of what you forgot.”
“But you know what, I really love him.” I feel like I am torn in the middle because of what she said. I was hurt even though I knew it wasn’t true because she loved me. It was me and she told me that.
But what if, what Hendrick’s said is true? What if Lauren doesn’t love me and she’s just pissed off at that guy? What if it’s true that Lauren only let me go because I helped her a lot? And the two of them really love each other?
But she told me that she was going to break up with him. Because she wants to focus on me. But what if she only said it to give me false hope? Damn!
“Hubby?”
“Huh?”
“I called you many times.”
“Sorry, I’m thinking about work,” I lied. “Do you need something? Does anything hurt?” She shook her head.
“Nothing, I just want to know how our relationship is as we live together in the same house. Although you have already told me that I take care of you and I almost work here. I just want to know more about us.”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“What about us?”
“If we hug while we sleep, if we kiss every now and then, all.”
“Well, we sleep hugging, we kiss, and—”
“And?”
‘And we do sex. We do it romantically with love. I feel it wife.’
I want to tell her that. I want her to remember.
“And we are sweet,” I answered.
“Oh, I see.”
“Go ahead and rest. You just came from the hospital and you need full rest. You will remember something when you wake up.”
“Thanks.” I helped her until she lay down and fell asleep.
I looked at her while peacefully sleeping. I don’t want to believe what Hendrick said. I want to believe in Lauren’s last word before the accident happened. But I can still forget what Hendrick said to me. If Lauren loves me, why did she forget me?
